He said, no, no, no, no, no, you love football if you play football, and when you're done playing and you can no longer play, then you coach.

And if you don't coach, then you die. I'm like, what, you know?

So that, he is all ball. He is all about ball. You play as long as you can, you coach as long as you can, then you die.

That's Jim Harbon.

Hello, welcome to always college football. Today is Friday. January 5th. We hope you're having a

terrific week. We're finally recovered from the trip to New Orleans, a game that went deep into the night.

I think I left the Superdome at like 1 o'clock, local.

It was late. But either way, it was a blast and it was amazing, amazing after the fact to see the numbers and the viewership from both the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl combined like 23, 24 million people tuned in

over the course of an eight hour period to consume college football the sport has never been stronger.

The sport, I don't think, is going anywhere.

If anything, guys, I think we are just going to continue to grow

and get bigger and bigger and bigger as more and more people are kind of finding our sport man we are awesome.

So I hope you guys are enjoying it as much as I am. can't wait for the game coming up on Monday.

We have everybody here. We got Jack here. We got the other Jack here. We got Jake.

I'm Greg. Mark's here as well. We got the whole team here because it's National Championship

preview day. We're gonna hit every storyline. There's three that I think are most

impactful in the game. We're gonna give you a couple key players to keep an eye on

give you a couple stories about both coaches we're going to break these teams down

how they get here and then a little bit later in the show we're going to talk

about how their roster was put together.

Because a lot of people out there are thinking, man, we just can't compete.

We can't do it.
